Feather Your Nest was a delight to stitch! It's pouring rain here today and as I look at my latest finish I'm reminded of a children's song by Raffi. I can't remember the title but I remember some of the words. "Robin in the rain, what a saucy fellow. Robin in the rain, mind your socks of yellow." What a saucy robin indeed!

With the arrival of my floss order, I spent some quality time with Peace Inside. This design has such pretty colours and I was sailing right along until I discovered an error. When I started stitches the small motif of vines at the top of the house they weren't matching up as expected. I still haven't found out where my mistake is. I've patched things for now but I'll stay away from this area until I can figure things out. I was just too tired last night to spend anymore time with it.

My next big project is for a friend. I'm sure many of you will remember With Thy Needle & Thread Mystery SAL, Birds of a Feather. Do I sense a theme here, lol? I'm stitching this one for my friend Trish . She has been so generous with her time in helping me sew my stitches into pillows. I asked if there was anything I could stitch for her and this was her request. This will be the first time I stitch on anything higher than a 32ct though. The charted fabric is 35ct so I will really need the use of my magnifier for this one. I figure it might be a little slower going at first too until I'm used to the count.

This one won't be travelling with me so I'm off to check out my stash for something that I can take to my Tuesday group, in the car, etc.

I 'll leave you with a short video of a saucy little fellow who stopped by to clean himself up and dry out his feathers at the tree outside my front window. Enjoy!!

Congrats Lynn on your Robust Robin finish!! He is a fine fellow isn't he!! Your Peace Inside is turning out lovely too. Don't you hate that when you can't find the mistake?!! It happens to me a lot!! I can't tell just so you know!! I hope it stops raining so much for you...we are finally getting some sunshine! That robin is so cute!!

A gorgeous spring time finish!! I love the other piece you are working on. The colors are fabulous. I have been enjoying the bird song in my yard the last week and a half. AAHHHh nothing like springtime.

Congratulations on the finish! It is really wonderful.Great progress on Peace too. You will soon have another finish under your belt.I love the Birds of A Feather sampler. I think the theme is bird brained :) lol You know I mean that in the best possible way!Hugs!

What a lovely finish, Lynn! And Peace is looking so pretty! That poor little robin was sure working hard to dry himself. :) I'm afraid the birds around here are having the same difficulty. Rain, rain and more rain.

Beautiful finish Lynn! Loving your wip as well. I hear that Midsummer Night Designs is about to start up again. She has started blogging again. So hopefully, some new designs will make their appearance!
